Skill Training: Throwing

After catching his breath, Ahmed turned his attention to another skill he had been trying to develop: Throwing.

He lined up several small rocks on the ground and picked one up, testing its weight in his hand.

He activated the Dash skill, feeling a surge of energy propel him forward. The world around him blurred slightly as he darted from one end of the clearing to the other.

> [Skill Progression: Dash – Proficiency 8%]

Koneko's Perspective

From her hidden perch in the trees, Koneko watched Ahmed with quiet fascination. His relentless determination was unlike anything she had seen before. Most devils relied on their innate power, but Ahmed was different.

> "He's working harder than anyone I've met," she thought, her golden eyes narrowing. "But why?"

She noticed how his movements became more precise with each repetition, how his attacks grew stronger and faster. It was almost as if he were leveling up like a character in a game.

Koneko's ears twitched as she leaned back against the tree trunk.

> "He's not like the others," she murmured softly. "Maybe… he's someone I can trust."

Ahmed's Perspective

As Ahmed prepared to leave the clearing, he felt a faint presence nearby. He turned, his crimson eyes scanning the shadows.

> "Koneko," he called out, his voice calm but firm. "I know you're there."

For a moment, there was no response. Then, the petite nekoshou stepped out from behind a tree, her expression neutral.

> "You're getting better," she said simply, her soft voice carrying in the still night.

Ahmed smiled faintly.

> "Thanks. I still have a long way to go, though."

Koneko nodded, her gaze lingering on him for a moment before turning away.

> "Don't push yourself too hard," she said quietly. "You'll burn out."

Ahmed watched her leave, a thoughtful expression on his face.

> "Maybe I'm not training alone after all."
